Key benefits

Follow along with actionable instructions with this practical guide

Become well-versed in advanced spatial modeling and machine learning techniques

Learn best practices for performing spatial analysis from an expert spatial data analyst

Description

Geospatial analysis is industry agnostic and a powerful tool for answering location questions. Combined with the power of SQL, developers and analysts worldwide rely on database integration to solve real-world spatial problems. This book introduces skills to help you detect and quantify patterns in datasets through data exploration, visualization, data engineering, and the application of analysis and spatial techniques. You will begin by exploring the fundamentals of geospatial analysis where you’ll learn about the importance of geospatial analysis and how location information enhances data exploration. Walter Tobler’s second law of geography states, “the phenomenon external to a geographic area of interest affects what goes on inside.” This quote will be the framework of the geospatial questions we will explore. You’ll then observe the framework of geospatial analysis using SQL while learning to create spatial databases and SQL queries and functions. By the end of this book, you will have an expanded toolbox of analytic skills such as PostGIS and QGIS to explore data questions and analysis of spatial information.

What you will learn

Understand geospatial fundamentals as a basis for learning spatial SQL

Generate point, line, and polygon data with SQL

Use spatial data types to abstract and encapsulate spatial structures

Work with open source GIS combined with plug-ins

Visualize spatial data and expand QGIS functionality with Postgres

Apply location data to leverage spatial analytics

Perform single-layer and multiple-layer spatial analyses

This book is barely 200 pages long excluding index and other plugs from publisher. Most pages have figures covering at least 50% of the page and many pages have blank spaces. The amount of text is most likely < 100 pages. The point is enough space is available to include important information like exactly which file from this book's git repository is being loaded (in every chapter reader is invited to get data files from repository!!) and what are the steps for loading the data from files into database?The content seems to follow out of sequence. E.g., CH 2 has 5 steps for creating database over 3 pages and two figures. After step 5 author discusses how to name the database. The screen shot show name blank. Shouldn't this be in step 1? This is the only chapter where loading data is discussed: first load data in QGIS and then from QGIS into PostgreSQL for Mac users. Again, enough space to discuss best way to load data into database in different OS.I decided to stop at Ch 2 and return the book.After reading glowing and gushing high reviews I think that these reviewer's version(s) has to be completely different from the print version I received.

I recently had the pleasure of reading "Geospatial Analysis with SQL" by Bonny McClain, and it exceeded all my expectations. This book is an absolute gem for anyone interested in harnessing the power of Python for geospatial data analysis.The author's expertise shines through in the clarity of explanations and the well-structured content. From the very beginning, it is evident that McClain knows how to guide readers, whether they are beginners in geospatial analysis or seasoned professionals looking to expand their skills.What I appreciated most about this book is its practical approach. McClain does not just dive into theory; instead, the book is filled with hands-on examples and exercises that allow you to apply what you've learned immediately. The code samples are well-documented and easy to follow, making it accessible even for those who might be new to SQL
